UnScripts:TYATU[edit source]

I would like it if an experienced Uncyclopedian reviewed TYATU again, because I want to know if it is still doing well.

Experienced Uncyclopedians ONLY, please. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!

Please remember that this is an Uncyclopedia In-Joke itself. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!
Are you asking us to review all 50 articles? Also, what did you have to do with this article? Barrage of questions?   Le Cejak <-> (Dec 10 / 02:37)
Alright, I'll narrow it down to Season 2. I know it needs more images. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!

this is fucking ridiculous.   Le Cejak <-> (Dec 10 / 04:01)
It was reviewed once, it can be reviewed again. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!
Nobody is going to give you a useful review of 20 articles at once. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon Baloon.gif(Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:04, Dec 10
Alright, episodes 120+. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!
God, I KNOW I'm going to regret this, but Finn is a MAN, dammit. OK THEN IF I REVIEW all 12 pages, does that count as more than ONE REVIEW?? I would like credit for at least 2 reviews. /me stares at Cajek Finnius.png
It'll count as as many review tables as you can pound out! if you review all 12 pages and only do one thing, it'll only count as one. Let's see how ya do!   Le Cejak <-> (Dec 10 / 18:59)
  • THIS ARTICLE IS BEING REVIEWED BY FINNIUS. PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE, AND SEND ME LOTS OF COFFEE ! <puts on nice white coat with the really long sleeves, then grabs SOFT crayon with his teeth.> "ONWARD!"Finnius.png edit: im starting with episode 118, as that is part 1 of a multi-part....(god im an idiot) EDIT REDUX: fuck it..ill do all of Season 2..its only 4 more pages.
I thought about doing a review for each, but that would be stupid...What I have decided to do is a review for each set of 'storylines' and after that..some GENERAL COMMENTS OVERALL...that is the best solution i can come up with...HERE GOES Finnius.png

Episodes 114-117-- WAR

Humour: 7 Classic. Random wierdness with lots of planes, bombs, and SAVINGS!
Concept: 7 Continuation from last season..finally tying up a loose end or two.
Prose and formatting: 8 for the most part all is well here..there are minor little spelling goofs..some day i might even proofread the entire series..but i need a good 2 days to do that....
Images: 3 No images for episodes 114-116...3 in episode 117
Miscellaneous: 6 average from the above...and number of shots of whiskey needed to get THIS FAR in the review of TYATU
Final Score: 31 SEE BELOW
Reviewer: Finnius.png


Like i said above, classic stuff. I think there should be at least 2 images per episode. It not only helps fill the right-hand void, but they are MOST EXCELLENT when used with a quote from the story. That concept should be used on every episode. Also, pics add COLOR to the page...the eye can get very tired reading just 'script'...especially reading 20 episodes in a row.

Things were a bit willy-nilly during these episodes, lots of in-joke stuff, but no real movement of 'plot' until towards the end. But, things happened...other things happened...and evil got away...damn them. (plot?? did i say plot??)
What was GOOD to see was that you all had 2 storylines occuring at the same time. This is great. I know juggling too many threads would be horrific for anyone but the most obsessed reader, but 2 or 3 at a go should work out fine (if the storyline calls for a 'splitting up' of the main characters that is)

Episodes 118-121--LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY IDIOTS

Humour: 8 Much better. Actually following a 'script' and adhering to it is GREAT PARODY.
Concept: 8 League movie...good choice.
Prose and formatting: 8 same comment as above...there are always going to be little gnomes that shit in your garden.
Images: 4 only ONE pic in the entire 4 episodes..but you put in the GameScreen..so that's worth 2 points just by itself
Miscellaneous: 7 average from above...and number of special mushrooms eaten to get THIS FAR in reviewing TYATU
Final Score: 35 SEA BELOW
Reviewer: Finnius.png


THIS is much better set of stories. You have a storyline to follow, mocking it all the way. MOST EXCELLENT. As long as you choose movies/shows that are very popular, the reader is most likely to have seen it, and be able to follow along. THIS is something that should be done more often. (yes, you guys might have been doing it all along..but i have not read season 1 ...it took me hours just to go thru season 2 TWICE.)

images were even more absent than in the WAR storyline..BUT the SLAYER template was PURE GENIUS! THANK YOU for that one. (just for that, im bumping your Image score 1 more point..to 4)
This set of episodes was much more readable...more accessible...in my opinion. We even got to see the death of Dr. Strangeherr. But villians are like hydra, cut off a head and 2 more take its place. I enjoyed this set more than WAR.

Episodes 122-126--VFD'S KITCHEN

Humour: 9 I thought this set was really funny. You had little jumps (we missed some of the 'ejections') but overall..nicely done
Concept: 8 A Cooking Show/Contest. Very nice indeed.
Prose and formatting: 8 all is pretty much typical at this point. Dont expect to see this value change from set to set.
Images: 2 2 images in 5 episodes...grrrr...
Miscellaneous: 7 average of the above...and coincidentally, the number of gastric rumblings my stomach produced getting THIS FAR in the reviewing of TYATU
Final Score: 34 SEA-BEE LOW
Reviewer: Finnius.png


Although episode 122 was not really part of the KITCHEN sequence, i included it here just to put it SOMEWHERE. It was a 'link' episode. Besides #122 had 1 of the only 2 pics in the whole set. Did you really want to see a '1' for Images? I didn't think so. I must say that when you DO put in an image, they are almost perfect for that particular episode.

Larry Sanger ...LOL...
All in all you have a nice set with LEGION and KITCHEN. Very good. It really looks like you guys were in your prime at that time, and having lots of fun. Again, minor spelling, grammer hinder a bit, but that can be cleaned up. Images..well this is the common theme running throughout the whole soap opera, isnt it?



Episodes 127-128-- TYATU: Noir / MYTHCAPADES

Humour: 7 obvious fill-ins. They were not bad attempts, but besides the slapstick, nothing happened.
Concept: 7 I see that 2 concepts were tried, and basically abandoned. At, least, thats whats it looked like to me.
Prose and formatting: 8 ibid from all the above
Images: 0 my god, my first zero ever.
Miscellaneous: 6 average from above (with a little bump)...and the number of women i wish i were sexing up instead of doing this TYATU review.
Final Score: 28 SEE BELLOW
Reviewer: Finnius.png


I actually liked the 'gumshoe' concept, too bad it didn't pan out. Also, it wasn't gritty enough to be a true parody. The 'jump the shark' section just sort of fizzled. I'm sorry to say that these pages were just not at the same creativity level as the previous episodes..i didn't go thru history (i never do) so im assuming these were a bit more rushed, or perhaps less people were involved in the creation..i cant say for sure. But, again...both ideas just sort of puttered (petered) out.

zero images...ouch

Episodes 129/131--UNCYLOPEDIA ISLAND

Humour: 8 much much better. This segment made me laugh.
Concept: 8 started out hilariously. So very much like a 'click' adventure. I also liked the lead-in to SAW
Prose and formatting: 8 jesus fuck, finnius vary your damn prose score...
Images: 0 I Can't Score that.
Miscellaneous: 7 average from above...and the number of diseases i acquired from the above-mentioned women while doing this TYATU review
Final Score: 31 SEAT BEE SATE
Reviewer: Finnius.png


This attempt was much better and the concept was a good start. But without a script, it was just sort of wandering around. You tried to introduce most of the cast, but nothing really happened, did it? Get back to the Movie parodies, those seem to work the best. Images, again, were nonexistant. Are you telling me you couldn't spend like 3 minutes seaching the net, and right-clicking an image?

The lead in to SAW was EXCITING. Because the series was very popular and the movies not too shabby (well 4 was not even worth downloading, imho) the POTENTIAL for a good set of episodes is basically guaranteed. Dont let me down guys/girls!
I know im probably stating the overly-obvious...but WHY a FINGERPUPPET...isnt it obvious that a SOCKPUPPET is required?

Here is where the big jump in numbering comes in..Episodes 132 thru 136 (done as 'guest shots' ..i will not be reviewing those, for those are not part of the 'canon' at present.)


Episodes 137--SAW PARODY

Humour: 9 the camera rolls, the tape recorder...very good start..i know the episode is not finished, but HURRY UP DAMN IT..im hooked !
Concept: 8 SAW is a good choice. see my suggestion for the next parody...below
Prose and formatting: 8 much better than most of the episodes...the fact that you are using description for the camera (with wrong-way takes..that was cute) is much better than quick little (quips)...you can actually visualize whats going on better. Direction is happening...nice..
Images: 0 If you fail to retrieve the images in time, you will be mercilessly attacked by another 'nought'. Let the game begin!
Miscellaneous: 7 average of the above...and the number of kittens i needed to huff AFTER doing this insanely HUGE TYATU review.
Final Score: 32 LOOK OUT BELOW
Reviewer: Finnius.png

God help me i'm close to the end. i started at 12:30 this afternoon, and its now 7:30 pm (with time out for burial of my cat, no lie)

The SAW parody looks good, keep going with it..images please...i know its not finished yet, but keep it going. It has a GREAT start to it!

GENERAL COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS ABOUT TYATU:

  • Update the Episode List and Summary page.
  • Update the List of Characters. Also, i am not sure what is the better way to present this LIST...ALPHA by name, which would seem obvious...or keep going in decending order by 1st episode appearance (which is far easier)..my thought is that a NEW READER will have trouble trying to find a particular name...but by the same token...names toward the bottom tend to be CURRENTLY in use, as opposed to those near the top.
  • IMAGES are definately necessary. I suggest a minimum of 2 for each episode. the caption should be one of the lines in the episode. THIS works the best.
  • Today in IRC i suggested using the movie "30 Days of Night" as a good parody to do. That was before i got up to the SAW stuff, but i still think its a good idea. Another good idea might be "Superbad" (im thinking it could be the 'sex' episodes, as i have not seen sex in quite a while during TYATU...and what soap does not have some steamy scenes..or at least very revealing clothing, dammit.
  • If you want, instead of sending each episode over to Proofreading Service, i suppose i could just check the current episode every week or so, and do some minor edits there. OR, since Uncyclopedian is back, perhaps he will..There are not usually a lot, but the ones that i do see irritate me...(but i'm anal that way)

THIS FUCKING REVIEW IS OVER..im going to IRC now...and i dont want to do another review for awhile..perhaps 5 days or so..this one really tired me out... Finnius.png 00:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
